Backgrounds	Value	Notes

Cult	****	The Heartwood Spearfolk, now saved from the Bone Dagger Kings.
Familiar	*****	Incomparable Sapling, the miniature Wasirranu left by the Great Tree and by Wei Dan. Who knows what it is capable of?
Manse	****	The Mile-Wide-Maw Mineral.

This wood-aspected gem has an unusual quality: while it is attuned, the possessor may eat anything he can fit into his mouth. Chewing is unnecessary; once it hits his throat, it proceeds smoothly into his stomach, ignoring any and all obstructions and ordinary size restrictions. Eating an object takes at least one die action, and possibly more depending on its size and length. This allows the following:

He may hold any object he eats in his stomach indefinitely and without discomfort. While doing so, he may examine these objects with his sense of touch as if he were using his hands to do so.
He may digest anything organic that he eats as though it were nutritious and healthy gruel of the same weight, satisfying his need for both food and water.
He may further digest anything living he has in his stomach, gaining nutrition and also draining their life force -- as a die action, he may do one unpreventable aggravated health level of damage to a living creature in his stomach and heal one health level of damage. He may take this action a number of times per round equal to his Survival.
He may attempt to digest anything inorganic he has eaten. This affects the item in question as though it were immersed in an immensely strong acid -- items made of most normal materials will be destroyed, although metal and bone may take some time to disintegrate completely.
He may vomit up an object he has previously swallowed. This takes an entire round during which he can do nothing else. The object is unharmed (unless he's digested it), although possibly severely traumatized.

Upon becoming unattuned to the gem, the former possessor is seized with a sudden sickness; he immediately begins vomiting up the objects in his stomach, one object each round. He may take no actions whatsoever until all the objects have left his system.

The Manse is the Cathedral of Living Wood, hidden below the Spire of the Wasirranu and open only to those whom the great tree allows in.
